PUBLICATION OF THE MONTH

AMA Coding with Modifiers: A Guide to Correct CPT® and HCPCS Modifier Usage 3rd Edition

ISBN#: 978-1-57947-889-6
Item#: OP323209
Authors: Deborah J Grider
https://catalog.ama-assn.org/Catalog/home.jsp
List Price: Was $92.95 NOW $60.42

Whatever we do it seems that we just cannot get enough information about modifiers. Forgetting one can cost us time and money and using the wrong one can cost us time and money so it is so important to get it right the first time, every time. Using this definitive, easily referenced, one-stop source can help with understanding and use of modifiers to help explain the code narrative and describing the circumstances of the procedure or service as it pertains to the patient.
